0.50 hike is my bet, but what he says matters more than what they do.

Correct answer.

If you like Sig, they make a great LPVO, but there are tons of options. Just don't get sucked in by the highest magnification. 1-6 is almost perfect, but 1-8 is good too.

Canik is supposedly releasing an updated version, the TP( Sub METE.

The METE line is pretty impressive for the cost. I don't think anyone else even comes close.

Shelter is still increasing because rents always lag actual prices. This is mostly due to lease agreements, but also because of the method that BLS uses to estimate these values.

can someone explain to me what a "K" can is when talking about suppressors? i assume it's a size, but i don't know any more than that.

It's usually a shorter version of an existing can. It stands for "KURZ" or "short" in German.

This is an important point. I went with Kobalt since I have a Lowe's close by and they have regular sales on tools with/without the batteries.

re: AR Build: Need Optic and Foregrip

You may want to checkout the Swampfox Patriot optic in 4-16x44. This comes in either a MRAD or MOA reticle which I would prefer over a BDC. It's also FFP so the subtensions will be accurate at any magnification.

If you need more magnification, Burris makes the Fullfield IV which can be had in 4-16x50, but only an MOA reticle.

A 6x multiplier and relatively small Objective lens will mean that it won't be great for any low light situations and the eyebox will be tight.

I would suggest no more than a 4x multiplier and at least a 44mm Objective lens, but 50mm would be better.

This is a good budget optic, but be aware that the reticle is set for a specific 5.56 load and velocity. You will need some range time to determine actual ranges for each one.

Nothing I have found is better than Mint for general overall finance collation software.

What are you trying to incorporate with Crypto? The incorporated API Keys quite a while ago. If you have coins in cold storage, then that's like asking Mint to keep track of the cash in your pocket.
